November Beauty Favourites!

Hello,
So today I thought I'd give something a go that I haven't done before,
a monthly favourites post! 
So if you want to know a little more on why I love these products then
keep reading! 
 
So I'll start on the left and work my way across.

Sudocrem
Now nappy rash cream is an odd favourite to have, especially in a beauty favourites but recently
due to stress my skin has erupted with 3 huge spots on my forehead.
After using all kinds of lotions and potions to zap them I turned to sudocrem.
I used to use it a long time ago and I didn't expect it to actually do anything but within 2 days 
my spots were nearly gone and they didn't feel sore! This also didn't dry my skin out and give me 
dry skin around my spots, I don't know why I ever stopped using it.

Nars sheer glow foundation in 'Mont blanc'
I have such a love hate relationship with this foundation, it makes my skin look awful in daylight
but flawless at night... as it's been really dull in the UK and there hasn't been a scrap of light,
I've been really enjoying this and getting my use out of it.
It's a medium-full coverage and has a flawless semi-matte finish.

Pacifica 'island vanilla' roller ball perfume
If you have read my blog for a while then you will of seen my review of this fragrance which I 
will link HERE.
I love pacifica as a brand as their products have no parabens, no animal testing, no animal ingredients or artificial colours and are 100% vegan and gluten free.
All the pacifica products smell incredible and this one is no exception, it's a sweet vanilla 
scent but as it settles it gains a deeper, sexy scented note.
It's a really warm and comforting scent and I think it's great at this time of year, I've been
wearing it everyday this month.

Barry M nail paint in '273 Raspberry'
I love Barry M nail polishes, they're affordable, they come in a huge range of colours and
they don't chip overly quickly on me.
This shade is a deep blood red which works perfectly for both autumn and winter.
and this however leads me onto my next product.

Angelica nail polish in 'Brit pop'
An incredible glitter nail polish that only needs one coat to pack the glitter on.
The formula doesn't chip on me for a really long time and I love this polish in winter time
and now that it's December I can pull off super glittery, Christmas looking nails!
I have never found a glitter polish with so much glitter in one swipe.


Original source skin quench body lotion in 'pineapple and moringa oil'
I love the body washes from this range (I reviewed them HERE) But on a trip around boots
I spotted they had matching body lotions which excited me greatly!
I would of picked up peach and apricot as that is my favourite scent but there were none in stock.
This body lotion smells like fresh pineapple and sweets in the tube, once applied to this skin 
it has a slight plastic scent but then that diminishes and leaves a very light pineapple smell 
to your skin.
I'm not fond of the plastic scent but that does go away when the product dries, which is pretty
fast! This product is very thin and applies with very little effort, it isn't sticky and it's in a handy tube so you can get every scrap of it out! I love using this now it's colder as it's so 
quick to apply and that means less time freezing to death after a shower.

Revlon moisture stain in 'New York scene'
Yet another reviewed product - HERE
I love a darker lip in winter and just around Christmas time I will take any opportunity for a red lip.
This stain can be buffed into the lips and then wiped away for a red stained effect, This is how I
would wear it on an everyday basis or, you can buff one layer onto the lips and then a minute later
you swipe another coat on top for an intense glossy red lip.
This product is highly pigmented, super glossy, not sticky and has great staying power,
especially with the staining effect.
 
and last but not least!

Make up geek pigment in 'Utopia'

I have also reviewed the make up geek eye shadows and pigments on my blog so for 
full review and swatches then click HERE.
Although this product is a little bit messy, it's stunning on the eyes and well worth the time to apply,
It is a deep brown/gold pigment with gold glitter throughout. 
It really is very beautiful especially when it catches the light and highlights all the gold glitter,
it's very finely milled and just sparkles without looking overly glittery or chunky.
I've been using this when I have a little bit more time in the morning and really enjoying it.



Thanks for reading!
